This man knows how to hype

Chapter 401 Making a Nest
"In fact, I also have a yacht, in Nansha Bay, Guangzhou. It was a birthday present from my brother when I was 14. But I used to stay at home and rarely went there. If you have any clients to entertain, you can use it."

"it is good."

"You know, I think my brother is upset. He's been under a lot of pressure lately. He feels like a compressed biscuit, wooden and hard."

“This metaphor is quite interesting.”

"So, I wonder when he can finally relax. During this time, I went to Shanxi Province with people from Pingxing Chongcai to collect materials and scan them. I saw many ancient buildings and statues, which were really beautiful.

I have a room full of action figures, but they are not even one tenth as good as the statues. I want to take my brother to see them, to help him relax.

I also saw a lot of intangible cultural heritage skills in other places, some of which I heard for the first time, and made me want to learn them. "

"If you are interested, you can."

On the way back, Hu Ningwei kept chattering and sharing her thoughts and experiences with Xu Xiyu.

During the sharing process, there was no connection between her topics. Sometimes she would start with one topic and then jump to another one right away.

All little girls seemed to be like this, she just simply enjoyed spending time with Xu Xiyu and could talk about anything.

Of course, you can also say nothing. Just like the lyrics of the song "Starlight Amusement Park" last time, "It's beautiful to walk quietly without chatting."

Unfortunately, this kind of "beauty" ended when it arrived in the capital.

After being sent home by Xu Xiyu, Hu Ningwei found that her grandfather still had not returned.

After repeated inquiries, I finally learned that her grandfather was in the hospital.

So she hurried to the hospital.

Xu Xiyu didn't know about this. He sent Hu Ningwei home, agreed to play with her again in two days, and then went straight back to the company.

Because Cheng Guangzu was waiting for him in Huaqing.

At this time, in Chairman Hua Qing’s office.

Xu Xiyu stood by the window looking at the night view outside. Looking at his back, Cheng Guangzu on the sofa felt very uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a long time, he said with an embarrassed look: "Boss Xu, now that we have figured out what happened, Du Yuxiong is actually on our side. He is Yu Xingde, the second largest shareholder of their company..."

"Brother Zu." Before he could finish his words, Xu Xiyu interrupted him directly, "When we are filming Infernal Affairs 2 in the future, I will tell you that I am attracted to Jiahe, but our CEO Qiao does not agree to continue cooperating with you. Is this okay?"

"..." Cheng Guangzu choked when these words came out. He actually knew how outrageous his statement just now was, but the problem was not solved, so he had to find an excuse to prevaricate.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Xiyu asked again: "Did Du Yuxiong say when he could deal with Yu Xingde?"

"One month." Cheng Guangzu said, but after he said it, he felt that his IQ was insulted.

So, he slammed the table and said, "Boss Xu, Du Yuxiong is taking us for fools. In a month, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will take over "Infernal Affairs" for publicity."

After hearing this, Xu Xiyu finally felt relieved.

He really didn't want to see Cheng Guangzu follow Du Yuxiong's example and treat him like a fool.

He turned around, walked towards the sofa, smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't get excited, sit down, sit down and talk."

Seeing this, Cheng Guangzu sat down with a rage in his heart, and said to Xu Xiyu: "Boss Xu, to be honest, I almost had a fight with him.

Anyway, I introduced this person, so I take full responsibility and will compensate you for any losses he caused you."

Cheng Guangzu still has some gangster spirit in him.

When he said this, he looked as if he was about to light incense on himself.

Xu Xiyu naturally didn't bother to pay attention to such angry words. Even though Cheng Guangzu said nice things, if he really wanted to take money out of his pocket, there was a 99% chance that he would turn hostile.

Even brothers can fight over money.

Not to mention partners.

Instead of expecting him to compensate you, it is better to drive him to do something for you. In this way, he will probably put 120% of his energy into "apologizing".

Therefore, after Xu Xiyu sat down, he changed the subject while making tea and said, "I've seen the data of Infernal Affairs. The preview was very good. I estimate that the total box office should not be bad."

"That's for sure, Mr. Xu. The film is still being screened in mainland China, but it's already been released to the public in Hong Kong. Do you know how much the box office in Hong Kong has been so far?"

"How many?"

"7791.37 Hong Kong dollars." When Cheng Guangzu talked about this, his eyes lit up.

However, Xu Xiyu didn't react much after hearing this number. After all, the box office of Infernal Affairs had already exceeded 100 million yuan on the first day of its preview.

Now, more than a week has passed, and the box office in Hong Kong is less than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which really makes it difficult to get him excited.

Seeing Xu Xiyu's reaction, Cheng Guangzu immediately realized that he didn't get the point. So, he excitedly explained: "Mr. Xu, do you know what the box office of the historical box office champion in Hong Kong was in the past five years?"

"How much?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously.

"1.036 million Hong Kong dollars, for the movie 'Green Rain Planet 2' released two years ago."

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember now. There seemed to be such a news before, and the media asked our domestic entertainment industry to reflect on it." Xu Xiyu remembered.

"Green Rain Planet 2" is a Hollywood science fiction film. The plot is a bit like "Avatar" and it is considered a well-known IP.

"Mr. Xu, you may not have noticed that since Hollywood blockbusters came to Hong Kong, our local films have never won at the box office. Not to mention winning, we can't even touch the edge of others. Theirs is 1 million, and ours is at most or million."

Hearing Cheng Guangzu talking about this matter in a complicated tone, Xu Xiyu suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a movie called "The Poisonous Tongue Lawyer" on Earth that broke this situation.

So, he smiled and said, "So, what you mean is that Infernal Affairs is going to break the box office record of Green Rain Planet 2 in Hong Kong?"

"Absolutely. Almost 80 million Hong Kong dollars in a week. It will definitely break the record in a few days. Not only will it break the record, I think after I finish the painting, it will be a big hit!" Cheng Guangzu said this with confidence on his face.

Because he felt that this time, Infernal Affairs had done everything right in terms of quality and publicity. If it still didn't make a big box office, then there would be nothing that could be done.

After listening to this, Xu Xiyu thought for a while and said to Cheng Guangzu, "Well, you should focus on promoting this matter. Also, hasn't the film been screened in Taiwan? How is the box office?"

"The situation in Taiwan is just average. Du Yuxiong, that loser, doesn't take it seriously at all." Cheng Guangzu said with a frown.

Without waiting for Xu Xiyu to answer, he continued, "At first, I thought it was because they didn't invest in Infernal Affairs, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Now I can see that they would not care if Infernal Affairs or even The Richest Man in Xihong City came to the island. They are just waiting for you and other investors to do a good job in publicity and promotion.

Then they can just sit back and wait for the mainland box office share. Fuck their mother, is there such a good thing in the world? Apart from taking some money, they do nothing else and want to make a big profit, are you dreaming? ! "

"It's okay, he'll get it right soon." Xu Xiyu chuckled, "Mr. Cheng, there are a few things I really need your help with."

"You say."

An hour later, Cheng Guangzu left Xu Xiyu's office.

three days later.

The two pieces of news were pushed to major platforms.

One piece: [Infernal Affairs' local box office in Hong Kong reached 1.12 million, breaking the box office history of local movies in Hong Kong]

Another one is [Infernal Affairs was screened for 10 days, and the total box office in mainland China reached 8.82 million]

With the emergence of these two pieces of news, the term #《Infernal Affairs》box office# quickly became a hot search, and a group of netizens engaged in heated discussions.

Of course, those in the same industry are even more enthusiastic than netizens.

"Damn, Xu Xiyu's project will be a huge hit if it can be successfully launched online? The box office during the preview period has reached this number. When it is released publicly, the box office will definitely reach 30 billion?"

"I think so. I've seen the movie and it's of very high quality. It will definitely have a small explosion during its theatrical release."

“Hey, isn’t the cost of this movie high?”

"I heard that those movie stars all offered friendly prices, so I guess the cost is really not that high."

"Even if it wasn't a friendship price, the cost of this movie plus publicity and promotion would be at most 2 million. Damn, this bastard made money again."

"What do you call this egg? Be respectful and call it a golden egg."

"What golden egg? Be more respectful and call it a golden chicken! There is only one golden egg, but all the eggs it lays are golden."

"Okay, okay, you are the one who is plotting against me, Mr. Xu, right? I have recorded everything and will send it to Mr. Xu later. If he is happy, he might even include me in his new project."

"Little family?"

"You can't call me an old man, right?"

"Hey, does Hua Qing have any news about a new project?"

"No, there are only two projects in this round. We have to collect funds first before considering new ones."

"There's no need to collect the money back. Huaqing's investment in this round of projects isn't that big, and they haven't even spent all the money they made before."

"No need to guess. I just heard that Hua Qing really has new projects to develop, and Infernal Affairs 2 is among them."

"Is this true? Where did the news come from?"

"There are many sources of information. Xu Xiyu's assistant revealed it, and Cheng Guangzu also mentioned it to others."
